CORONAVIRUS UPDATEWe’ve done our best, but virusy events have overtaken us. Until the panic is over, we will be shut for a while. As soon as it’s safe to do so, we’ll be up and running again (hopefully the end of June). If you have booked a cancelled tour, that booking is valid for any future tour, at any time. To reschedule, or for any other queries, email info@cityofthedeadtours.com.

Researched and designed by best-selling historical author and award winning novelist J A Henderson, our walks combine the weirdest stories, wickedest humour and wildest history. ​​​Named ‘One of the Britain’s Best Ghost Walks’ by Scare.com, Yahoo! Travel and Virgin Media, ‘One of the UK’s Spookiest Tours’ by The Sun Newspaper, ‘One of Edinburgh’s top 10 Attractions' by USA Today and ‘Edinburgh’s Best Ghost Tour’ by Lonely Planet. Short-listed for the prestigious Screamie Awards (3 times), winner of ScareTour’s ‘Best Ghost Tour Award' and recommended for the last 10 years by TripAdvisor (including ‘Best Halloween Events’).

​Which proves good doesn’t always triumph over evil.
